Well happy birthday you northerners. Now as you have always been so polite to me when I visited from California, you all, and go back home. Besides the fellow in the F350 hauling the fifth wheel, traveling 75 in the fast lane, and swaying over two lanes at that on Friday, brought all this rain with ...

So here's the question for you. You know that the SR-71 was supposed to replace the U-2 (which is still flying). Now let's say they really aren't flying the SR-71 anymore, since satallites can't just be repositioned in a heartbeat, what the heck did they replace the SR-71 with? Years of rumors of Ar...

I have a terrible thought. Could the retailers be helping the shortage along just to boost prices? Maybe I'm just a bit cynical, but...

Yea, a bed is nice. But if you're waiting for that Toyota to die, you've done put about half the miles you need to on the engine. Those things seem to just run and run.

Look at it this way. Install studs for sling swivels. That way you can use on or not depending on the situation. As to the sling itself, contact Levergun Leatherworks.

The extended cab ranges are good trucks. I used one for my work vehicle for years. It finally started to age and traded up to an F250 with a V-10. Fortunately, it died just before gas prices took off and switched to a V-6. But I sure miss the Ranger.

Not that much of a Civil War buff. But, I recently read Newt Gringrich's (don't start) novel "Pearl Harbor, A novel of December 8th". The premis is that one fateful decision dealing with the attack would be done differently. It's a well written work of fiction based on historical fact up t...

That one goes to they boys. The youngest was hassled by an officer just after hostilities ended when this thing started. He head shot a fellow that wouldn't stop. The officer never did apologize, even after they found the grenades wired to the raghead.

Back in the 70's, they unearthed a german bunker at an airfield when they were working on a roadway. Fortunately one of the fellows working remembered stories or booby traps. They notified the right people. They blew the darned thing after a quick look inside. Yep, booby traps. Too bad they couldn't...

I have a really good eye doc. Would you like a referal?

Finally, a S&W I wouldn't buy. They keep making stuff that ugly, and they'll be filing bankruptcy, again.

Tubby born on Friday the 13th. Who'd have guessed that. Thoug it explains ALOT.

That should read Ted Kennedy would drive them back to the cabins the "first" evening. He probably wouldn't need to make a second trip.

My prayers for all. I heard one thing interesting on the new today. The Austrailian government is going to rethink allowing residents to choose if they will evacuate or stay and fight the fires. Apparently some chose to stay and stayed too long. So the government will step in to "protect" ...

Again, welcome Pokey. Pictures are appreciated. We love to live vicariously thru others. Besides, it give us more to dream about.

Can I use the international stupid line? I can see many applications for that one.

jeepnik

Dropped me to the floor. Didn't know whether to puke or pass out. Drink lots of water. Keep things flushed out. If you pass one once, you'll never want to do it again.

Prayer said, and will continue to be. We had a bad fire season here last year, but it was nothing compared to what those folks are enduring.

jeepnik

I can without reservation recommend this fellow.

http://www.levergunleather.com/index.htm

He's made several pieces for me, including exactly what I wanted in a sling. Other's here have, also, had things made by him. I'm sure they will support my recommendation.

That's fantastic service. It's nice to see a company stand behind it's product for the "life" of the product. There was a time when it was more common. Today, I think the firearms and accessory industry is about the last one left. Too many once proud brands have failed or are failing becau...

That's nice. I handled the SuperBlackhawk, but it felt "big" in my hand. I ended up with a SS Blackhawk in .45 colt. While I've never been to grizzly country (and it's the state animal and on the state flag here), should I ever go, the Blackhawk with some of Grizzley 335 +P's should be as ...

You know over on the Ruger site, some folks are convinced that factory people read the forum. Personally, I doubt that's true considering some of the stuff they've put out lately. But I kinda have to wonder if factory folks don't look in here every now and then just to check the pulse of their fan b...

Something my BIL and I like to do is overnight on the water out in the Pacific. Get out 40 or 50 miles, and you have a view of the night sky you can't get anywhere on land in SoCal anymore. It's kinda soul stirring. Out there, you can see more satalites than you could imagine. Even though they are j...

Can you believe people actually didn't vote for McCain? If at any time in our history we needed a military man as president, this is it. Instead, we get a tech geek that refuses to give up his Blackberry. Youngsters are in combat for pete's sake, and this fools blackberry gets frontline coverage. Es...

Don't know. I'd have to take the picture first, then deal with the bear. It probably made for a good fireside tale for generations. Nothing better than a photo to back up a tall tale.

jeepnik

What's the deal on these? Are they American made or an import? Don't look bad in the pictures I've seen. Anyone sen one up close? How's the workmanship?

jeepnik

Now that is something. But just imagine if they made it today. Some fool would be himself chucked off and eng up getting run over. The after the law suits, it would be redisigned to be "safe". The resulting redesign would create a vehicle that can't move in any direction at any time under ...

Ice and fishing. Two words that just don't go together. I'll take my SoCal weather for "winter" fishing any day. Never had to wear a snowsuit for fishing, and don't plan to. Hey, are those "legal" size? Might puny.

Fact #3 - If there are no Panthers in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana or Texas, why in the world does the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks hunting regulations specifically state that the Florida Panther is a protected species and may not be hunted? .

Oh heck, I'll add my "cat" story. Now mountain lions are pretty common is SoCal. But it seems the authorities never want to admit they are in populated areas. I think it has something to do wht the lion population explosion since hunting was banned, and the documented increase of cat attac...

I think ole Bill is getting his payback on that one. I'm sure he's spinning in his grave over the three latest "self defense" handguns that Ruger has put out. Hey, have they announced the recall on the LCR yet. These days they aren't official till they've been recalled at least once. Being...

You bet dogs are easier to understand. And they never want to buy "another" pair of shoes. Don't ask. Or rather ask Imelda, she knows.

Yep, I'm just going to start carrying an extra shoe lace in my pocket instead of a gun. I bet I could even smuggle it through metal detectors and on airplanes. :D Not that I know or anything...

Yea, manual strangulation is slow and hard work. Too many other ways to quickly and easily remove vermin from this world.

I won't use another hunters stand. But I had one case where I arrived in an area and set up a ground blind. A fellow who had left a stand up showed up a couple of hours later and got upset that I was there. He seemed to think he had the "right" to that spot. It was public land, and it shou...

Now all he has to do is get through the civil suit. Doesn't matter if yu are right, the relative will likely sue. Sucks, there should be a law against that.

Many moons ago, I picked up a southpaw Remmy 700. At the time they were the only production left handed bolt gun on the market. It's a 30-06. Never regretted it. While Savage certainly makes nice rifles, and have a pretty good selection, and price wise they are less than the Remington models, take a...

Well heck. I'm an American, and I'll take American made. Springfield 1903's rifles. Smith & Wesson Triple Locks were introduced in 1908, so let's say we get these for handguns. For shotguns, let's take some Winchester 1897's. Since we are on a well planned and financed expedition, we'll have ple...

Given the choice of "just" those two. The .44 mag. Like some have said, it's capable of wild to mild. But, my personal preference is .45 Colt. Just as down loadable (is that a word) as the .44 mag, but has a bit more oomph at the top end.

Griffith Park in Los Angeles near the Autry museum has this group of trains that you can sit on about 2 ft high and the aficiondos that run them as a hobby. Yep, the "Live Steamers" have some nice stuff. Great place to take a kid, time after time after time. They never seem to tire of it.

I'm ready to take them both on.

And, I promise not to hurt them too badly.

This one's been around a while. I wonder if he's still sleeping in the garage?
